Aglou

Aglou is in Anti Atlas, about 10 minutes west of Tiznit.

Understand

Aglou was initially a fishing village but is being developed as a tourist destination. The beach is a few km and bus stops away, and called "Aglou Plage". The beach is a favorite getaway place for people from Tiznit to escape its sometimes insane heat since a public bus goes there.

When people talk about "Aglou", they usually refer to "Aglou Plage", since "Aglou Village" itself does not offer much.

Get in

By public bus from Tiznit or with CTM on the route from Agadir to Sidi Ifni - it's not an official stop so you will have to ask the bus driver to drop you of.

Get around

All of Aglou Plage can be walked within 15 minutes.

See

• the beach
• the formerly inhabited caves at the sea (you can still rent some for a night - though they are very basic).

Do

• Fishing
• Hanging out at the beach
• Paragliding
• Go on an excursion with a quad (from Aglou Village, directly on the main road towards Aglou Plage)
• Visit the water park with huge water slides (April to October)

Eat

There are a few restaurants at the beach and one at the entrance of the village.

Sleep

Several small hotels are available, most houses are available for short term rentals and locals also rent out apartments - ask in cafes or restaurants for the latter two.

There is also a pretty large camping ground at the entrance of the village.
